Arab and Africa Youth Forum
More than 50 young women participated in the first joint Youth Forum organized by the Arab Region and the Africa Region. A news update appears on the left-hand menu so look out for news and photos and participate.
This exciting event, with the theme ‘Take the lead’, promoted leadership among young women in both regions.
The forum took place in Cairo from 15 September 2006 to 21 September 2006 and the Hotel Sheraton Cairo hosted it.
Young women from the Africa and Arab Region came together to learn more about each other and their cultures and as well as to learn essential leadership skills.
Participants had the chance to discuss and learn about intercultural learning and exchange, adolescent health or about becoming a peace ambassador. The programme also included a visit to the Pyramids and the famous Khan el Khalili market.
Participants enjoyed an International Night, where they shared food from their countries with the delegates.
